The Democratic Alliance has welcomed the decision by the Bellville Magistrate Court on Thursday to not grant bail to the nine people who were arrested for dumping human waste at the Cape TownInternationalAirport.

Leader of the DA in the province Ivan Meyer said he hopes justice will take its course.

DA spokesperson Cameron Arendse said Cape Town is the leading sanitation provider in South Africa; with the 1.3 million houses with no sanitation at all, none are in Cape Town.

“Of the 88 000 bucket toilets identified by government across the country, only 0.4% are in the Western Cape” Arendse added.

Arendse said that the DA will continue to provide services as best as they can.
